How to Feel Less Depleted and More You in Midlife with Margaret De Petro Artwork

Take A Breath

A podcast for creating practical calm in the messy middle of midlife.

This is your space to pause.

Because life in midlife is full-on. Between work, family, menopause, and the mental load, your nervous system can easily end up in constant overdrive — leaving you feeling exhausted, reactive, and overwhelmed by even the smallest things.

Each week, I’ll share my own tools, alongside honest conversations and practical nervous system support — to help you create more calm, peace, joy, and inner steadiness. Not by escaping your life, because that’s totally unrealistic, but by meeting it differently.

So when you're ready, let’s take a breath together…

How to Feel Less Depleted and More You in Midlife with Margaret De Petro

January 06, 2026 • Polly Warren

In this episode, I’m joined by the wonderful Margaret de Petro — a former psychotherapist whose work now spans coaching, NLP, intuition, and energy awareness. Margaret supports people around the world to feel more connected, clear, and confident in who they are and where they’re heading, especially during times of transition. Her work sits at the intersection of science, spirituality, and deep self-awareness, making this a fascinating and very grounded conversation.

Together, we explore what happens when you realise you’ve lost touch with yourself — that familiar midlife moment of questioning, “Is this it?” — and how intuition, energy, and presence can gently guide you back to clarity and purpose.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How intuition actually works and practical ways to start trusting and strengthening yours
What your energy field is, how it can be measured, and how it responds to thoughts, emotions, and environments
Simple ways to protect your energetic boundaries without effort or overwhelm
Why the heart’s electromagnetic energy plays such a powerful role in authenticity, truth, and connection
Gentle, practical tools for navigating grief, emotional overwhelm, and everyday depletion in midlife

This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and remember that your inner wisdom hasn’t gone anywhere — it’s just been waiting for a little space.
